"Portrait of Ruin"
  by JokerJay


There used to be a place called earth
That was doomed because order reigned
Its blackened sky rained burning tar
And I cried oceans of joy at its pain
I was responsible for the Nazis killing Jews
With bayonets for the children and mothers
I took Juden souls and put them in my stews
I am the reason Nagasaki and Hiroshima
I am the dead “in the streets” gang members
I could’ve been the dead Elm St. dreamers
But I’m the families being dismembered
I am Bronium and this is my underworld
Your earth has become my barren wasteland
A world that never was and never will be
I just hope that you will understand
If not I will turn exquisite pain into pleasures
I offer you unknown regions and black wonders
You will walk a slave in a miserable nightmare
You will experience dead springs and black summers
There’s no god and angels dare not tread here
With demons and night terrors around every corner
I sit on a throne of ruin in a palace of pain
Broken skulls and souls were the foundation
I have devoured your world…your prayers were in vain

This is so truee.. And i agree with Athena, the last three lines are amazing in that they sum up everything that is true. Nice work. (:

the picture has been painted and layed out for all to see -- smoke and ashes leaves a bad taste that will never go away
